How to make a basic rag doll

I love rag dolls -- they're such a fantastic blank slate, so easy to make, and ready to take on whatever personality you want to give them. Will that featureless doll become a gentle, raggedy-Ann or a multiply-pierced, pouting goth doll? The choice is yours!

Before you get to the fun part of making the facial features, hair, clothes and accessories for your doll, you'll need to make sure its body is in proportion, or else you could end up with a hairless teddy instead of a plush human. I've found a simple pattern here to save you having to do the measurements. Enjoy!
